Spring MVC Plugin

Overview

This plugin allows Spring MVC controllers and interceptors to be executed in Struts 2. This plugin is useful for Spring MVC developers want to migrate to struts, but do not want to rewrite their Spring MVC controllers and interceptors.

Features

• Includes a Struts 2 action that can execute Spring MVC controllers.
• Includes a Struts 2 interceptor that can execute Spring MVC interceptors.
• Allows the Spring MVC view to be accessed via the OGNL stack.

Getting Started

Installation

This plugin can be installed by copying the plugin jar into your application's /WEB-INF/lib directory. No other files need to be copied or created.

Configure Spring Controller in Spring

The first step in using the Spring MVC plugin is to configure your Spring MVC controller in Spring:

	<bean id="ratingController" class="example.RatingController"></bean>

Configure the controller in Struts 2

Now the controller needs to be configured in Strutsv2:

<action name="CalcRate" class="com.googlecode.struts2springmvc.SpringMVCControllerAction">
	<param name="controllerName">ratingController</param>
	<result name="success">/example/displayrate.jsp</result>
</action>

The controllerName parameter is the name of the controller in the Spring configuration. The ModelAndView viewName is mapped to the Struts 2 result. The model Map is exposed as a model property on the value stack and can be accessed as follows:

<s:property value="model['rate']"/>
